"Amiga" Ball - Printable bicolor ball with a single-head printer. No glue.

thingiverse

Hello Amiga fans! Maybe I'm the only one here, though. This geeky realization just hit me: the iconic red and white ball from the "Amiga Boing Demo" by Robert J. Mical (1984) - a screen capture is included in the photos. I designed this ball to be printed using a single-head printer, and you can build it with no glue at all, like a small puzzle! Printing is easy: just print each part twice, once in white and once in red. The center parts only need one printing, but both colors will do. If you're not an Amiga fan, feel free to print the ball's parts in different colors - it's up to you! Keep in mind that this is a precision project, so make sure your printer is adjusted properly for the pieces to stack correctly. If your printer's not very precise, try printing the ball at 120% (1.2) of its size for better accuracy. All parts can be printed without support except part No. 6, which is tricky to print without supports - rotating it at 180° might work, but there are no guarantees! Amiga forever! Thanks for checking this out.
